Brief Answer:
May be due to tonsillitis...

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history severe cough and jaw swelling is due to swollen lymph glands in your neck and jaw which is a common symptom of tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis symptoms usually go away on their own within 3–4 days. In the meantime, the following home remedies may help ease the symptoms:

getting plenty of rest.
drinking plenty of fluids.
taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen to ease pain.
sucking throat lozenges.
Taking steam inhalation.
using anesthetic throat sprays may help.


Tonsillitis that has a bacterial cause may require antibiotics like Amoxclav . See a doctor if the symptoms are severe or last longer than 4 days.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.

Regards,
Dr Shyam XXXXXXX
